“Yes!” A fierce, ruthless glint surfaced in Eva’s eyes.

“We should have dealt with this scum long ago. Letting her live on the land of Snowdeer Town for even one more day is torture for the soldiers of our border garrison and the ravaged civilians”
“Spread the order throughout the entire camp. The execution is tomorrow; any soldier who wants to watch is free to go. This pent- up anger has been trapped in their chests for too long. Only by seeing Velda’s blood spit onto the ground with their own eyes will they be able to completely wash away their humiliation.”
Helia closed her eyes wearily. She paused for a moment before speaking slowly again.
“Bring Sybil along too. Didn’t she say before that she would avenge Lucian even if it cost her her life? Have her stand in the front row and watch with her eyes wide open.”
Eva took the order in a deep voice: “Yes, ma’am.”
At this moment, Thalia walked in, gently supporting Helia and guiding her toward the bedroom.
She helped Helia lie down on the soft bed, then began to massage her shoulders.
“Don’t worry, my headache hasn’t flared up.” Helia let out a long sigh, her eyelids drooping slightly.
Her body was exhausted to the absolute limit, but the thought that one vicious, uphill battle after another awaited her in the Werewolf Council upon her return to the capital in a few days meant this iron–blooded she–wolf still wouldn’t allow herself to relax for even half a second.
Thalia’s voice broke the silence.
“Princess Helia, now that we have signed the full withdrawal agreement, the border crisis is resolved. Then… how do you plan to deal with Sybil next?”
“You want to plead for her?” Helia’s voice was very cold.
Thalia’s breath hitched slightly, and she bit her lip nervously.
“Her attempting to poison you is indeed a capital offense. But female werewolf officials in our country are already pitifully few. Sybil’s abilities are outstanding. If she is stripped of her position this time, the rest of us will have almost no chance of promotion in the future. Princess Helia, can’t you give her one more chance?”
Helia slowly opened her eyes.
“She is already out of chances.”
“But she only did it to blow things up, to avenge Lucian…”
“Thalia!” Helia swatted her hand away, warning her coldly.
“If you truly feel that our country’s opportunities for she–wolves to become officials are precious, then you shouldn’t be making excuses for her right now! Do I need to remind you how hard it was for all of you to walk this path of thorns? Especially Sybil, Sitting

in that position, she should think thrice before making any decision! She must always remember not to make mistakes, and not to give those male werewolves in the government any excuse to impeach her.
“But what did she do? For the sake of revenge, she didn’t hesitate to put the nation’s civilians at risk of another war!
“She roasted the entire Western Tribe on the fires of war, disregarding the lives of millions of border residents and hundreds of thousands of garrison soldiers! # Lucian saw her taking revenge in such a stupid, selfish way, he would only be utterly disappointed
in her!”
As her emotions surged, Helia’s breathing grew heavy.
She sat up straight, scolding mercilessly.
“She placed her revenge above the fate of the entire country, going so far as to try and murder me just to force a total war between the two great werewolf nations. Does she think going to war will avenge Lucian? She can’t even endure a moment of grievance, constantly wanting to vent her emotions. Someone like her isn’t fit to be a qualified politician.”
The current state of the Western Tribe surfaced in Thalia’s mind: financial deficits, supply shortages, and the lowest–class commoners not even getting enough to eat every day. How could a country like that withstand a massive war?
A fierce wave of guilt instantly shattered her selfish motives.
Thalia’s knees gave out, and she dropped to the floor beside the bed with a thud.
“I was short–sighted and didn’t think things through. Please forgive me, Helia.”
Helia looked at her and let out a long sigh. The coldness in her eyes faded, leaving only endless exhaustion.
“The Northern Kingdom is currently ruled by Lycan Erasmus. Their energy is entirely focused on purging their internal officials; they absolutely do not want to initiate a war. Our country’s economy has been in a recession for the past two years. At such a critical juncture, we absolutely cannot afford another war. Maneuvering on a sandbox and playing chess against enemies is important, yes, but feeding our own people is equally as vital”
“Yes, you are right. I know I was wrong.” Thalia replied, her head bowed.
She actually understood the bigger picture in her heart; she just couldn’t bear to see her former colleague ruin her career like this, which was why she couldn’t help but plead for her.
Now, she had completely dispelled those unrealistic thoughts.
Helia closed her eyes again.

The heavy workload recently had drained far too much of her energy. Her body was exhausted to its limits, yet her mind was bizarrely wide awake. The feeling was excruciating, and her temples throbbed violently.
Thalia knelt on the ground for a moment before asking with heartache.
“Helia, regarding Velda’s public execution tomorrow… will you personally go to the site to supervise?”
